Introduction

314 PAC was created to elect a new generation of candidates with scientific and technical education and experience into elected office. 314 PAC intends to leverage the goals and values of the greater STEM community to give our endorsed candidates the resources they need to win elective offices.

Having run for federal office I know how important “early money” is to a candidate’s viability. Through 314 PAC we will harness the great minds and resources of the STEM community to recruit, train and elect Democrats with technical backgrounds.

—Shaughnessy Naughton, Former U.S. Congressional Candidate, PA-08

We must be proactive in combating the all-too-common attacks on basic scientific understandings, research funding, and climate change. People with STEM backgrounds are uniquely qualified to speak and advocate on behalf of these issues. 314 PAC was created to elect a new generation of candidates with scientific and technical education and experience into elected office.

Science should be valued and play a vital role in our national discourse, as it affects nearly every issue facing our country.
Congressman Rush Holt

One of the fundamental principles is strength in numbers. When I had a look at the composition of the U.S. Congress, even with a very generous definition of scientists, then roughly 4 percent have technical backgrounds.
Congressman Bill Foster

The good thing about science is that it’s true whether or not you believe in it.
